Chapter 31

On the main street of Chengde Fang, Su Xin, dressed in the clothes of the Green Bamboo Gang, walked towards the headquarters of the Green Bamboo Gang.

Feeling the human skin mask on his face, Su Xin found it quite amazing. Once he put it on, even he couldn't recognize himself.

The human skin mask was something he had obtained from the flower thief. He didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

This time, he came to the Green Bamboo Gang's territory in disguise, naturally with the intention of causing some trouble.

The Green Bamboo Gang and the Flying Eagle Gang couldn't fight, right? Well, he would just give them a push.

In Changning Prefecture, there were three gangs and four associations, a total of seven major forces, among which these three gangs were the weakest.

However, among these three gangs, the Flying Eagle Gang and the River Band had only risen in the past few decades, while the Green Bamboo Gang had been passed down through three generations of the Wei family. When it was first established, it was the largest gang in Changning Prefecture.

Unfortunately, each generation was worse than the last. By the time it reached Wei Feng's generation, he couldn't even defeat the two deputy leaders under him, making him utterly useless.

As the former top gang, the Green Bamboo Gang, though now in decline, still had its presence. The headquarters was grandly built, occupying an entire street.

Arriving at the entrance of the hall, Su Xin, holding a box filled with stones, bowed to the gang members guarding the door and said, "Brother, I am one of Chen Lao Da's men. The boss asked me to bring some things to the leader. Could you please inform him?"

Chen Lao Da was one of the three major leaders supporting Wei Feng. After Dai Chong's death, he took over Dai Chong's position and guarded Yongle Fang.

However, Chen Lao Da's strength was far inferior to Dai Chong's, and he was heavily suppressed by another major leader under Deputy Leader Ma Qingyuan. Originally, Yongle Fang should have been equally divided, but now two-thirds belonged to the other side.

But Chen Lao Da had one advantage: he knew how to flatter. He often brought peculiar and exotic things to Wei Feng, making Wei Feng not only pleased but also more reliant on him.

Chen Lao Da sent people frequently, and the guard at the door didn't pay much attention to whether the person delivering the items had changed. With over 7,000 people in the Green Bamboo Gang, it was normal not to recognize each other.

"The leader is drinking at Chunxiang Lou. Why don't you leave the items here, and I'll pass them on when he returns?"

Not there? Su Xin smiled inwardly. Not being there was even better. Acting in the headquarters was still somewhat dangerous, but in a noisy and chaotic place like a brothel, it would be easier to escape.

"Then I'll pass. This is a private matter, and Chen Lao Da said it must be delivered personally to the leader. I'll go to Chunxiang Lou."

The guard immediately understood with a knowing look.

Wei Feng was known for his fondness for women, and the entire Green Bamboo Gang knew this. Chen Lao Da often provided Wei Feng with peculiar and exotic things, which, of course, should not be seen by others.

Su Xin turned and walked into a small alley, casually throwing away the box, taking off the Green Bamboo Gang's clothes, and revealing the brocade and silk attire underneath. He then took out a fan, instantly transforming into a refined young master.

Exiting the alley, Su Xin came to a street corner where a group of sedan chair bearers waited with various types of sedan chairs for rent.

Su Xin threw a piece of silver, and one of the bearers, eyes shining, immediately picked it up and asked respectfully, "Where are you going, young master?"

"Chunxiang Lou."

Brothels were a necessity in every market, but the Chunxiang Lou in Chengde Fang was far inferior to the Zuiyue Lou in Kuaihu Lin in terms of decoration and service.

The garish red decor inside made Su Xin feel quite vulgar.

Then, a fifty-something, plump madam, throwing flirtatious glances, giggled, "Please come in, young master!" This scene left Su Xin speechless.

The Zuiyue Lou, run by Mr. Liu, aimed for elegance in both decor and service.

The Chunxiang Lou, however, still used the old tricks: the madam giggling to attract customers, and the girls welcoming them with open legs. It was hard to believe that Wei Feng, as the leader of a major gang, still found it exciting.

"Go away, I'll take a look around myself." Su Xin threw a silver ingot into the madam's arms.

The madam, upon seeing the silver, immediately turned and left. She understood that the customer was king.

As long as the money was given, not only would she leave, but she would even be willing to return to her old profession.

On the second floor of Chunxiang Lou, Su Xin infused his inner strength into his ears, enhancing his hearing several times. The poorly soundproofed private rooms made all the sounds as clear as if they were right next to his ear.

Filtering out the noise, Su Xin held the hidden dagger in his fan and walked towards the innermost private room.

Inside the room, a young man in his thirties was hugging a girl, drinking alone, while several Green Bamboo Gang members poured him drinks and tried to comfort him.

This man was the current leader of the Green Bamboo Gang, Wei Feng, though his life was far from glorious.

Wei Feng was very depressed. Although he was now the leader, his life was worse than when he was the leader's son.

Back then, Wei Feng was truly formidable, with his father backing him up. Who in the Green Bamboo Gang dared to provoke him?

The previous battle between the Green Bamboo Gang and the Flying Eagle Gang was due to Wei Feng and Sha Feiying's son, Sha Yuandong, fighting over a woman in a brothel.

Back then, Wei Feng didn't fear Sha Yuandong at all, regardless of whether he was Sha Feiying's son, and he would hit him without hesitation!

But now? He had been slapped by the Flying Eagle Gang and could only drink alone.

"Damn it! Don't let me find an opportunity. When I truly control the Green Bamboo Gang, the first thing I'll do is to get rid of those two old bastards!"

The gang members quickly refilled his drink, smiling flatteringly, "Of course, we'll make those two old turtles know the power of our leader!"

The door to the private room creaked open, and Su Xin walked in.

Wei Feng frowned, "Who let you in? Get out! Is there no discipline here?"

"Are you Wei Feng?" Su Xin asked softly, his eyes scanning the room.

Besides Wei Feng and the girl in his arms, there were only five gang members in the room, all of whom were useless and not particularly strong.

Perhaps Wei Feng thought that in the Green Bamboo Gang's headquarters, no one would dare to attack him, so he only brought a few lackeys out to play.

"Rude! How dare you call our leader's name so casually?" One of the gang members immediately stepped forward to scold him.

Su Xin ignored him, walking forward and saying, "I'm here today to tell you one thing: those who offend the Flying Eagle Gang will be punished!"

As the last word fell, Su Xin's fan suddenly shattered, revealing the hidden dagger, which he thrust towards Wei Feng!

"Assassin!"

The five gang members screamed, but none of them tried to stop Su Xin, all of them screaming and retreating.

Wei Feng's eyes flashed with fear. He was also a martial artist, with inner strength not much weaker than Su Xin's, and he had opened thirty-six acupoints, reaching the early stage of the Postnatal realm.

But unfortunately, he had never experienced a real life-and-death battle. In this sudden situation, Wei Feng had forgotten that he knew martial arts.

Su Xin frowned. He didn't expect Wei Feng to be so useless, scared to the point of not even knowing how to dodge.

He didn't intend to really kill Wei Feng, but if he made it too obvious, it would be too easy to see through.

Fortunately, Wei Feng wasn't completely stupid.

As the dagger approached, Wei Feng suddenly pulled the girl in front of him, trying to block the attack.

Su Xin deliberately deviated, the dagger piercing through the girl's shoulder and into Wei Feng's arm.

After the failed attack, Su Xin quickly retreated, and before Wei Feng could react, he jumped out of the second-floor window.

"Leader, are you okay?" Seeing Su Xin escape, the lackeys finally gathered around to ask if he was alright.

"Get out! You useless bunch, get out! What were you doing just now?"

Wei Feng pushed the girl, who had taken the hit for him and was still crying, to the side and started cursing the gang members.

The lackeys all smiled awkwardly, none of them daring to speak back, letting Wei Feng scold them.

The commotion caused by Su Xin had already alarmed the Green Bamboo Gang. Ma Qingyuan and Chen Hong arrived at Chunxiang Lou in less than half an hour.

"Leader, what happened?" Ma Qingyuan asked, feigning concern.

"What happened? I almost got killed by an assassin from the Flying Eagle Gang! They dared to assassinate me in the Green Bamboo Gang's headquarters, and you still want to tolerate it?" Wei Feng roared.

"Is there any misunderstanding?" Chen Hong asked.

He was slim and had a scholarly appearance, not looking like a martial artist but more like a secretary.

In fact, he used to be the one who planned for the old leader of the Green Bamboo Gang, leaving the fighting to Ma Qingyuan.

So when he heard about this, his first reaction was that someone was framing them. He didn't believe the Flying Eagle Gang would suddenly go crazy and send someone to assassinate Wei Feng.

"Misunderstanding? The assassin said he was from the Flying Eagle Gang. How can there be any misunderstanding?"

Wei Feng glared at the two men, his eyes red: "If you don't fight the Flying Eagle Gang, I will! I'll give you the position of leader! I won't be the leader anymore!"

Chen Hong quickly grabbed Wei Feng's arm, "Leader, calm down. I didn't say we wouldn't fight. I'll issue the order right now to declare war on the Flying Eagle Gang and demand an explanation from them!"

"Hmph!"

Getting a satisfactory response, Wei Feng covered his arm and left with his men.

After Wei Feng's men left, Ma Qingyuan's face turned grim, "Chen Hong, what are you doing? Starting a war now will bring us no benefits!"

Chen Hong sighed, "With what has happened, what else can we do? If our leader is assassinated and we still tolerate it, even if the major leaders listen to us, the gang members won't.

This doesn't seem like something the Flying Eagle Gang would do. I feel someone is stirring things up, and it might even be Wei Feng himself, hiring someone to do this to start a gang war and seize power from us."

"Does that kid have that much cunning?" Ma Qingyuan didn't believe it. He had watched Wei Feng grow up, and this playboy was just a hollow shell.

Chen Hong smiled enigmatically, "When a person is pushed to the limit, what can't they do? But if he wants to seize power from us, he's still too young. If he wants to fight, I'll let him fight to his heart's content. Once his men are gone, he'll be a puppet leader!"
